New results! We tested different control conditions for rh-TMS entrainment and showed ar-TMS performs best (matching sensory without inducing oscillatory effects). Also explored how rh-TMS/ar-TMS/sham-TMS differentially impact Oscillatory and Aperiodic activity!

Optimizing control conditions for entraining neural oscillations using rhythmic TMS
Rhythmic transcranial magnetic stimulation (rh-TMS) is increasingly used to entrain
neural oscillations and probe their causal roles in cognition [1-3]. By delivering
pulse trains at specific frequenc...

🚨New paper alert!⚡🧠Using concurrent TMS-EEG & MVPA in a selec attention task, we show parietal alpha rh-TMS (entrainment) specifically and causally enhances spatial attention ('where' info) coded by ERPs and alpha power, but not 'what' info or visual features.

Parietal alpha stimulation causally enhances attentional information coding in evoked and oscillatory activity
Selective attention is a fundamental cognitive mechanism that allows people to prioritise task-relevant information while ignoring irrelevant information. Previous research has suggested key roles of parietal event-related potentials (ERPs) and alpha oscillatory responses in attention tasks. However, the informational content of these signals is less clear, and their causal effects on the coding of multiple task elements are yet unresolved.
